Well... at this point I'd be happy if Alta just started assembling them prior to shipment from here on out, so others won't have to deal with it. They seem very on top of things, so hopefully that'll happen. I wonder if the EX kickstand is the same? My arm is 368mm / 14.5" from pivot center...

Zero's had this problem since the 2014 model year (earlier Zeros used Koso dash units with speed-calibration function). Maybe the Alta display unit has calibration capability too, but it's not mentioned in the '17 manual online. Ray

Just finished assembling & installing the Alta MX kickstand (p/n 8203563-00, $130) on my MXR. It was a very different experience than the Pro Moto Billet unit on my '08 YZ250F (unbolt LH peg, install kickstand, replace peg). I was amazed to find bags of parts, an arm without a foot, etc...

Mine was $725 - Duane the HVM sales manager specifically mentioned cutting me a deal on it, so I imagine normally they'd be $800 or whatever. Yes, this could be - that was my situation. BTW - the fast charger draws 12A at 120V / 16A at 240V, while the standard one is 12A at both voltages. If...

OK, cool - that's really easy, much better than other sites I've seen. Ray

Sure, no problem at all! I couldn't find a 10T sprocket online I was certain would fit, and was also unable to find a photo of a 292-520-11P (they are available, though). I did find a 292-520-13P pic (below): Based on the above, I don't think 3 teeth could be removed from this sprocket and...

Page 43 begins the AER fork info (I couldn't find a separate WP manual): 2018 KTM 450SX-F Factory Edition manual Ray

Thanks for that info! I have a spare throttle on order, I'll check it out with a meter when it arrives. Maybe it'll work on my Zero. On a side note... for those looking for MX-R type acceleration from their MX who can sacrifice some top end, 11/53 sprockets will give 578 ft/lbs torque & @...

According to Corey at HVM, the standard charger is yours to keep. I just got back from picking up my fast charger & kickstand there, & now have both chargers. :) I have the feeling the new fast charger may soon be the standard charger. Ray

Philip, re the throttle - the MX-R's is quite large in diameter, one of the biggest I've seen (way bigger than the Magura & Domino electric throttles). The OD is larger than the Alta switch unit or grip ODs, with a bevel on the grip side. It looks different from the '17 MX throttle, at least...

It would be great if there were replacement gearsets available for the throttle housing, like the cable cams in high-end ICE throttles. A one-tooth pinion change would probably make a huge difference in response (maybe even too much). I wonder if Alta dealers can now create/upload new throttle...

Thanks to all! It's great to be here, and I really appreciate the comments about the mods. Converting a Zero FX to dirt-only has been true job security. :) I feel the same! My Zero's been a lot of fun and it finally works OK in the dirt, but I spent so much time doing things I shouldn't have...

As long as the mod subject came up :^) here's a link to most of mine at the EMF site, in case any might be of interest to Alta owners: '14 Zero FX mods Ray

Aww shucks, Oded - thanks a bunch, seriously (you've been mighty busy doing mods yourself!). I'm glad I did most of the Zero stuff and it was a great learning experience, but nowadays I'll just recommend getting an Alta instead. :) +1 on the Freeride E (though if the price dropped...

Thanks! I've been waiting for an electric MX bike like this since at least '07, so cool to finally have one. Ray

Great forum! Thanks much to Oded for the heads-up about it. I just got my MX-R last week, from Hudson Valley MC in Ossining, NY. They're a very helpful and can-do dealership; based on my experiences so far, I'd recommend them highly. I haven't taken the bike out yet, but I test-rode a '17 MX...
